Lyrics

[Chorus] Take this job and shove it I'm not workin' here no more Yeah, my woman done left and she took all the reasons I was workin' for And you better not try to stand in my way When I'm walkin' out the door You can take this job and shove it I'm not workin' here no more [Verse 1] Well I been workin' on them rooftops For damn near fifteen years And all of this time I watched my woman Drownin' in a port of tears And I've seen a lot of my good friends die They had a lot of bills to pay And I'd give the shirt right off of my back If I had the guts to say Say what? [Chorus] Take this job and shove it I'm not workin' here no more Yeah, my woman done left and she took all the reasons I was workin' for And you better not try to stand in my way When I'm walkin' out the door You can take this job and shove it I'm not workin' here no more [Verse 2] I got some greasy old jeans and some holes in my shirt Ol' beat-up bucket that I'm hopin'll work I'm just a blue-collared guy baptized in dirt And every day I left late and always showed up first Got a finger for the foreman, he's an S.O.B.   And that line boss still bugs the hell out of me With his brand new flat top and coffee-stained teeth Here's my damn notice, I ain't givin' two weeks Nah, ain't enough money that'll make me stay I got 'em talkin' to my back, but I'm still walkin' away As a matter of fact, I got this one thing to say You can take it, you can shove it, get the hell out the way Say what? [Chorus] Take this job and shove it I'm not workin' here no more Yeah, my woman done left and she took all the reasons I was workin' for And you better not try to stand in my way When I'm walkin' out the door You can take this job and shove it I'm not workin' here no more [Post-Chorus] Yeah, one of these days I'm gonna blow my top And that sucker, he's gonna pay I can't wait to see their faces When I get the nerve to say Say what, now? [Chorus] Take this job and shove it I'm not workin' here no more Yeah, my woman done left and she took all the reasons I was workin' for And you better not try to stand in my way When I'm walkin' out the door You can take this job and shove it I'm not workin' here no more [Outro] Yeah, I wish I had a job to shove
